The Crucifixion

33 (A)And when they came to a place called (B)Golgotha, which means Place of a Skull, 34 (C)they gave Him (D)wine mixed with [a]bile to drink; and after tasting it, He was unwilling to drink it.

35 And when they had crucified Him, (E)they divided His garments among themselves by casting [b]lots. 36 And sitting down, they began to (F)keep watch over Him there. 37 And above His head they put up the charge against Him [c]which read, “(G)THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

38 At that time two [d]rebels *were being crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left. 39 And those passing by were [e]speaking abusively to Him, (H)shaking their heads, 40 and saying, “(I)You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! (J)If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.” 41 In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking Him and saying, 42 (K)He saved others; [f]He cannot save Himself! (L)He is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him. 43 (M)He has trusted in God; let God rescue Him now, if He [g]takes pleasure in Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 44 (N)And the [h]rebels who had been crucified with Him were also insulting Him in the same way.

The Crucifixion

22 (A)Then they *brought Him to the place (B)Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull. 23 And they tried to give Him (C)wine mixed with myrrh; but He did not take it. 24 And they *crucified Him, and *(D)divided up His garments among themselves, casting [a]lots for them to decide [b]what each man would take. 25 Now it was the [c](E)third hour [d]when they crucified Him. 26 The inscription of the charge against Him [e]read, “(F)THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

27 And they *crucified two [f]rebels with Him, one on His right and one on His left.[g] 29 Those passing by were [h]hurling abuse at Him, (G)shaking their heads and saying, “Ha!

The Crucifixion

33 (A)And when they came to the place called [a]The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left. 34 [[b]But Jesus was saying, (B)Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.”] (C)And they cast lots, dividing His garments among themselves. 35 And the people stood by, watching. And even the (D)rulers were sneering at Him, saying, “He saved others; (E)let Him save Himself if this is the [c]Christ of God, His Chosen One.” 36 The soldiers also ridiculed Him, coming up to Him, (F)offering Him sour wine, 37 and saying, “(G)If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself!” 38 Now there was also an inscription above Him, “(H)THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

39 (I)One of the criminals who were hanged there was [d]hurling abuse at Him, saying, “Are You not the [e]Christ? (J)Save Yourself and us!” 40 But the other responded, and rebuking him, said, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 41 And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving [f]what we deserve for our crimes; but this man has done nothing wrong.” 42 And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!” 43 And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you will be with Me in (K)Paradise.”
